The Secret Language of Flowers

www.planetcinta.com By Jodi M. Webb

Many times, flowers are a last ditch effort. But what if your flowers could say more than, "I couldn't think of anything else to get for you."? What if they could say, "I love your beautiful eyes" or "Will you go on a fantastically extravagant trip to the East Coast with me?"

The language of flowers is very specific. Flowers can represent a noun, verb, even and entire sentence or question. A variable as small as a color or type can completely change the message. Although a common rose declares love; a Japanese rose dismisses a romantic partner with "Beauty is your only attribute."

If you decide to speak the secret flower language that peaked in popularity during the Victorian Era don't forget to give your loved one a list to help them decipher your sweet nothings.
